obama and hillary clinton's joint interview. their mutual praise, basically a love fest is what i like to call it. and what could have been a political endorsement. >> they were all over each other last night. they were about to rub noses. they were getting real cozy last night. you have to wonder too, the way this first term is ending if in 2016 if hillary does run and joe biden run, whom does the president endorse in that race? >> you've got a good point. >> who knows? it's a long ways away. also this morning, the jeers and cheers as steve jobs' life story is told in a new movie. who is praising ashton kutcher in the film and who is panning the whole thing? and later this half hour, turning a basketball arena into a bat cave? yes, the scary intruder that made a few fans duck. >> you saw coaches hiding out. that's a funny story. but first, the grim task of

identifying the victims enters its second day in brazil. more than 230 people died, hundreds injured in that nightclub fire. >> we spoke earlier with the bbc's julia carnero who just arrived in santa maria. >> good morning, julia. it's hard to get your mind around what the scene must be there now. more than 230 people now. can you paint the scene in terms of where the investigation stands and what the scene around the club and around that morgue must be like right now? >> reporter: this was a very tragic day for santa maria. and the scene at the sports center where the families and friends have gathered to try to identify the bodies throughout the day, trucks carried the bodies to the site, which because it's quite large, it was the only place in the city that had the capacity to actually be a solution for the tragedy that happened because there wasn't a

morgue that could take in such a number. >> unfortunately we've seen tragedies like this before. we're understanding that some kind of pyrotechnic show inside the club is what led to this. what is so hard for people to digest is that there was only one exit door for a packed club like that. are you hearing anymore about the setup inside the club that there wasn't easier access for people to get out? >> exactly. lots of witnesses are speaking out about how it was a desperate situation for them, trying to get out, not being able to see far because of the smoke, and on top of that, some witnesses have said that actually security guards stood in their way in the beginning, because there was lots of confusion. they didn't understand quite what was happening. so it seemed that for some minutes that might have been precious minutes, they might have blocked the entrance. >> can you tell us about this nightclub, in terms of the popularity, what people are usually frequenting this, are

these local people, tourists? >> this is one of the most popular nightclubs here, as people here have told me. it's called kiss. so lots of young people go there and lots of students. i was told that from this public university, 50 students were killed. >> there was a late wire story that crossed and this club was way over capacity. so you factor in the fire, overcapacity and only one functional exit and you can see why the death toll is what it is. >> it's just tragic. you have to wonder if it's overcapacity, and they have a ban using pyrotechnics or whatever happened, why don't you have that exit strategy, why don't you have that plan? especially if it's one of the most popular nightclubs in the city frequented by the people

there, it's just unbelievable. >> we saw that horrible, remember that nightclub fire in rhode island ten years ago. there were pyrotechnics involved. they had a flare at this club in brazil and that sparked the whole thing. you would think there could be regulations governing it or just don't do it in a packed club. and there are reports that this club lost its license back in august of 2012. so you can imagine all the details about the club, the crowd, what was regulated, what wasn't. all that is going to spill out in the coming days. but those families and it's heartbreaking. it's beyond belief. the nuclear threat posed by north korea is bringing about strong reaction. this morning, a spokesman says south korea will do whatever it takes to block north korea from conducting a nuclear test. even north korea's strongest ally, china, says it will cut food aid to north korea if it goes ahead with the test. japan launched two new spy

satellites over the weekend to keep an eye on north korea. secretary of state hillary clinton sat beside president obama as the two formal rivals were interviewed on "60 minutes." clinton brushed aside questions about her political ambitions in 2016. >> in politics in democracies, sometimes you win elections and lose elections. i worked very hard, but i lost. >> if we had a clinton presidency, i think we would have fixed this fiscal mess by now. that's not the kind of presidency we're dealing with right now. >> paul ryan was referring to former president bill clinton. as for hillary, her favorability rating is 67%, compared to vice president joe biden, the other potential democrat candidate. his favorability rating at 48%. immigration reform is getting attention this week in a bipartisan group of senators is

ready to unveil its new plan. the so-called group of eight unveiled today include the pathway to citizenship for undocumented immigrants now in the united states. the lawmakers also want enhanced border security. the president's plan is introduced tomorrow. undocumented immigrants can now apply for a driver's license in illinois. governor pat quinn signed the new law into effect yesterday. in order to get a license, undocumented immigrants would have to take a driving test and carry car insurance. illinois is the fourth and most populous state to issue licenses to the illegal immigrants. and not the only state because there's illinois, new mexico, washington state and in utah, you can get a driver's permit. >> that's interesting. there's definitely some headway on this issue. the plan that will be revealed,

it's a broad stroke plan. they're hammering out the details, including the pathway citizenship would take and how the border would be deemed secure. so they're still working through the details. that's where always the devil is. but based on the last election, that's why immigration is such a huge issue. the hispanic population is growing. the number one minority terms of population. have to tackle this issue, both parties to not appease is probably the wrong word, but to assure the latino community that they're going to deal with this issue. >> it's a significant voting bloc. >> huge. >> that was shown to be the case this past election. >> and obama won 71% of them. so republicans are going to try to get some of those voters back. you're going to see bipartisan deal on this issue. quite a day for divers today. they will try to find a small plane in icy waters of new york's hudson river. rescuers rushed to the shore last night when a man and woman were brought to safety. their single engine plane crashed into the river, but they were able to escape before it sank. they were hospitalized in fair

far from anything that really happened or said in those days. >> nobody wants to buy a computer. >> reporter: in the clip, jobs and wozniak are arguing over the merits of building a computer for home use. overnight the first thing that struck him as inaccurate was the personalities. ashton kutcher portrayed jobs as a tech visionary. a job he says he didn't embrace until much later in life. >> as far as the personalities in that scene, this was just ridiculous. like steve jobs is some sort of overseeing father of society. like i've got the ideas that are -- no. wasn't like that at all. >> what do you call the system? >> the operating system. >> reporter: another thing he says they got wrong, the wardrobe. >> the portrayal in the clip was absurd. i never wore a tie or looked like a professional and in that scene i looked like a real professional. >> reporter: the 62-year-old wozniak formed apple computer

with jobs in 1976. the film attempts to portray the defining years of steve jobs' life. wozniak was an important part of that, but what would steve jobs think of his portrayal? >> i think he would have been offended and embarrassed like myself. steve would say that was a little phony. >> reporter: john muller, abc news, new york. >> never good for one of the main characters to say yeah, you got all the stuff wrong. >> you've got to give it that artistic license. you have to sort of theater it up a little bit. got to glam it up. >> wozniak is serving as a consultant for another steve jobs biopic based on the huge walter isaacson biography about steve jobs. >> which may be closer. >> that will probably be better received. >> but ashton really does look like steve jobs. that was surprising to me. when i first heard the casting, i thought why would you cast

him? >> but see the haircut and makeup, not bad, not bad at all. >> i'm going to see it. >> you see everything. coming up, our search for the biggest super bowl fans. how college basketball fans ducked when an arena turned into a bat cave. that's coming up next.

bringing the game between marquette and providence to a halt. >> we don't want any trouble. we just want the game to keep going. >> reporter: the bat scared the guano out of players, coaches, even the play-by-play guy. >> we're in hiding right now. >> reporter: who then took up arms, in this case towels, and taught back. the fear is understandable. bats can, after all, carry rabies. this one, probably just scared. >> when it comes out of its roost, it's thirsty, so it comes down to the floor thinking it's a lake. trying to skim the surface to get a drink. >> reporter: after the p.a. guys had their fun, they finally tried getting rid of the bat by turning off the lights. the bat vanished. the ordeal over. the game went to marquette's golden eagles. but victory for the bat. clayton sandell, abc news, denver. >> i wouldn't like the lights

morning. investigators say most of the young victims inside that nightclub suffocated as the air quickly filled with a thick toxic smoke. >> more than 230 people died and hundreds injured in santa maria, brazil. abc's matt gutman has the latest. >> reporter: so many victims and so young. firefighters in the town of santa maria barely able to comprehend the tragic scene. the popular nightclub called kiss still smoldering after the blaze erupted inside that club. it was packed with about 2,000 college students. the cause is still under investigation, but witnesses say it started when the band performing on the stage lit up fireworks and pointed them towards the ceiling. that set off acoustic insulation and in seconds, the club filled with thick smoke setting off a panic and stampede. with flames leaping towards them, the crowd scrambled

towards the exit, pushing and shoving to escape the crush. most of the victims reportedly died of smoke inhalation. firefighters arrived quickly and were assisted by clubgoers who managed to escape. this video was captured by an eyewitness who ran to the scene. it shows several brave young men helping the firefighters pull victims out. others hacked away at walls with axes. finding people still trapped. one of the victims said, there was some kind of small gate that was chained. with all of the people pushing against it, it broke. then people started going under the gate, but i was afraid to do that because i was afraid i would get killed by people running over me. when i fell, some guy fell next to me. he went under the gate, i grabbed onto him and he pulled me out. news of the horrifying tragedy spread quickly through the town of about 250,000 people. family members rushed to the scene.

this is by most accounts the world's deadliest nightclub fire in a decade, and not the first time pyrotechnics to blame. in 2003, 100 people died in the station nightclub in rhode island when a prop used by the band great white set the walls and ceiling on fire. firefighters arrived to the horrific sight of hundreds of people stuck in the front doorway of the club, trying to get out. the tragic irony of this incident, a news crew was inside that night shooting a spot about nightclub safety. matt gutman, abc news, miami. >> what those people were going through in those last minutes of their life. trying to get out of there. again, nothing we haven't seen before. in 2009, thailand, 66 dead. 2009, russia, 249 dead. 2004, 194 dead. 2003, rhode island, 100 people died. we've seen this before, and you have to wonder if we've seen it before, how come safety standards have not gotten better? why was there only one functional exit? where was the sprinkler system?

>> where was the exit plan? it hasn't been confirmed, but some were reporting that the security guards did not let people leave. those are precious moments when a fire starts. when is it a good idea to have the sort of pyrotechnics inside of a building? i don't understand that. >> that's my question. here in america, you talk about exit plans and indoor pyrotechnics. that's where the fire marshal gets involved and you have to get inspections or a certificate. things have to be approved. accidents can still happen, but there's a process to ensure safety. i don't know yet. i'm sure it will come out what brazil has. but we don't know yet. >> no. >> and grim detail as the firefighters were going through, they could hear cell phones ringing on some of the bodies because the family members were calling to see if they had made it. so as they're going through the carnage, cell phones going. so just think about that. just hard to get your mind around. moving on to other news. in egypt, there's a state of
